CISSOBS CASE.

Application filed January 26, 1923. Serial No. 614,980.

To alien/ 10m it may concern:

Be it known that I, OTTO J. KORHUMMEL, a citizen of the United tates, residing at Chester, in the county of Middletown and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Scissors Cases; and I do hereby declare the following, when alien in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this appliation, and represent, in

Fig. 1. a face view of a scissors-case, constructed in accordance with my invention, in the closed position.

Fig. 2 a similar view in an open position. 3 a sectional view on the line 33 oi Fig. 1, on an enlarged scale.

This invention relates to improvement in scissors-cases, and particularly to cases formed from leather, or other suitable material in the form of a sheath, into which scissors are inserted, points inward. It not infrequently happens that the scissors are entered so far into the case that the points penetrate the inner end of the case. The objeet of this invention is to provide stops which will limit the inward movement of the scissors, and the invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts as hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claims.

In carrying out my invention, I employ a case 5, formed from leather or other suitable material in the usual way, so as to form a pocket into wh ch the scissors may be inserted. The case is provided with the usual flap 6, provided with a socket 7, to engage with a ball 8. On each side of a vertical centra l line and closely adjacent thereto I 10- cate rivets 9 and 10. These rivets are preferably hollow rivets or eyelets, so as to form holes through which a cord or ribbon may he passed, by which the case may be suspended. These rivets are so located that when the blades 11 of a pairot scissors are inserted into the case, the bows 12 and 13 will come to a bearing, and preferably at a point before the points reach the inner end of the case, so as to prevent the points from being pushed through the inner end of the case. These rivets or stops do not interfere with the tree entrance and removal of the scissors,-in tact, they hold the bows up, so as to be convenientlv grasped by the fingers, when the case is open.

I claim:

1. A scissors-case, including a pocket and two stops respectively located on opposite sides of and closely adjacent to a central, vertical line and adapted to limit the inward movement or" a pair of scissors into the case.

:2. A scissors-case, including a pocket and eyelets arranged on opposite sides of the center, and adapted to limit the inward movement of a pair of scissors into the case.

B. A scissors-case, comprising a pocket and closure therefor, combined with two stops respectively located on opposite sides of a central line, and adapted to limit the inward movement of a pair of scissors into the said case.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

OTTO J. KORHUMMEL.
